Zoroastrian Large Temple in Hatra

The Zoroastrian Large Temple in Hatra was a large temple in the Middle Eastern city of Hatra. It was dedicated to Zoroaster, who preached the doctrines of heaven and hell, free will, a resurrection of the body, a Last Judgment of mankind, and everlasting life for the faithful. In 372 AD, the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius I decreed the destruction of all pagan and Zoroastrian temples across the empire, and the temple was destroyed by their general Buran (who was ironically a Zoroastrian).
